Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 OC takes second place in this guide at £709.99. That is £11 above the cheapest of the eight cards and £83.54 below the most expensive, for the same 12 GB of GDDR7 that all eight share. What the extra £11 over the bottom of the list buys is a three-fan TUF cooler and a factory overclock ASUS quotes at 2640 MHz in OC mode and 2610 MHz in Default mode.

Its spec sheet is the tidy one of the group. Both maximum resolution fields say 7680 x 4320, and the memory clock appears as its own figure, 1750 MHz, rather than a copy of the core clock. The 2610 MHz in the spec table matches the 'Default mode' number in the bullet points rather than the higher OC figure, so the two lines need reading together. Two smaller wobbles: the graphics description rounds the clock down to '2.4GHz', and the star breakdown shown with the listing adds up to 100 while the listing reports 217 ratings. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — we have not tested the card ourselves.
